La Sportiva Jackal II

La Sportiva has also been present at "The Running Event", held in Austin, Texas, where all the most important running brands have exposed some of their novelties and best kept secrets for 2023. In this case, one of the most renowned models in the trail catalog of the company arrives with new features.

We speak, of course, of La Sportiva Jackal II, trail running shoes designed to not stop enjoying your mountain adventures. This best-selling model of La Sportiva "reborn" to keep the philosophy of the company intact: aggressiveness and protection are its hallmarks.

What are the expectations of the new La Sportiva Jackal II?

The Jackal II is one of La Sportiva' s most characteristic trail running shoes. It is one of the most popular models of which, at last, in 2023, we will have its second version. And as usual, if something works, don't touch it. Therefore, this second version, we trust that it will be an extension to La Sportiva Jackal, without a redesign that varies its philosophy.

And basically, those wishes will be what we will have in 2023. A renewed shoe that maintains its essence and improves some basic aspects, but not far from the nature of the Jackal line. With a more breathable and adaptive upper, these La Sportiva Jackal II will come with a singular weight reduction.

If the previous model had a weight of300 grams and a drop of 8 millimeters, we predict that the La Sportiva Jackal II will come with up to an ounce of weight reduction, which translates into a weight reduction of 300 grams and a total of 280 grams. A weight that will favor a more dynamic and natural running while maintaining a perfect structure to not lose stability.

Runner profile of La Sportiva Jackal II

Taking into account that this is an aggressive model oriented to technical terrains of great hardness, and understanding this weight reduction as an improvement in agility, we think that it will remain an ideal model for runners of medium-low weight. A profile of runners looking for dynamism without losing comfort but allowing them to move smoothly on technical terrain.

Technical surfaces will not be the only ones on which to run, since, if they appear with the same 8-millimeterdrop as the first version, we will be looking at an all-terrain model. A trail running model for men and women ready to offer the best performance at all times and in all places.
